Thanks, Brian! The texture of these wings reminds me of the fried wings from a national wing place. I've tried a version of this recipe but I think yours will be better. I will be trying soon!
6:36 100% agree, hoisin sauce is so good, even for a lazy evening where I simply put some chicken breast with bbq rub, hoisin sauce and just cooked in the pan till they are done. Also great for marinades.
My wife and I have tried many RUclips video recipes for crispy chicken wings. Yours was the most recent effort and by far the best we've tried. It's now our go-to method.
I've been doing my wings in the oven for over 10 years. I marinate mine in some spices and 2 kinds of hot sauce for at least 4 hours if not all day. I then put them on a tray as you do, then I bake for 1 hour, turn and bake 45 minutes. Wings come out crispy, no messy sauce and the heat and taste of the hot sauce is already in there. So good.
Made some the other day in an electric oven. Tried the 8in but was too hot. I adjusted as I cooked till about the last rack. 12in from the heat. They came out great and family wants me to make more. Thanks for the vid!
Been cooking wings like this for years. They are wonderfully crispy and family and friends go nuts for them on football Sundays. I cook them at 250 for 30 minutes on the lower rack and then 425 for another 45-60 minutes on the higher rack, no rotations or flipping required. Skin is crispy and the meat is moist and tender. In a sauce pan I add some butter, salt and brown suger to some franks buffalo sauce to coat the wings people cant get enough.
Nice i was just about to mention this method too, we’ve found that way of cooking them without drying them overnight in the fridge, instead put them on low temperature 250 for half hour first. They come out so crispy. Also, weve done this same method for chicken legs and they come out great too, legs are a whole lot cheaper than wings right now, definitely recommend it
No lie, this is my favorite way to make wings, hands down. The skin gets shatteringly crisp, the dry brine makes the meat so juicy and flavorful, and it's arguably less mess/hassle than deep frying. Your sauces sound delicious too, I'll have to give em a try next time!
Couldn’t find a good air fryer chicken wing video just made some in the fryer sat down ready to eat and this is the first thing i see the algorithm is a crazy thing.
Love your vids Bri, I think it's awesome that you describe both the 'how' and the 'why' behind your recipes! Also that mango-habanero sauce looks dope, gonna have to try that.
Hey Bri, I have another way I have done for years. Do exactly what you do with the drying of the skin. But then I season the wings liberally with my proprietary cajun seasoning [or whatever seasoning you like]. Then I toss in seasoned flour [paprika, a bit of baking soda, seasoned salt, pepper, etc], shake off excess, and place on rack above foil like you do. Then, and here comes the trick, spray thoroughly with olive oil spray on both sides of wings. Place in 425 oven. Turn after about 25 mins. Cook until done, around 40-45 mins. Toss with sauce if you must but they are delicious as is. Crispy, delicious, actually better than deep fried.
As someone who literally just made mango habanero salsa with home grown habaneros last weekend there are 2 things you can do to up the flavor and lower the spice level. Also side note, wear gloves when cutting the chili's as it can and will burn your skin. Cut the chilis in half and remove the seeds and placenta. Then roast them until they are charred and soft in the oven, grill, or pan. This ups the flavor and lowers the heat. For reference I used a dozen habaneros in my salsa and 1 mango and it wasn't so hot that you'd immediately stop eating the food. It was still spicy enough to where you'd sweat after eating about 2 small corn tacos though it didn't become overbearing until #5 and I put a lot of salsa on my tacos. If it's still too spicy, add sugar as this lowers the heat. I'm pretty sure honey works as well. Personally I'd rather core 2 habaneros than use 1 whole one. As the actual flavor of the chili is extremely fruity and pares well with most fruit. But again to each their own. I like sweet and spicy and habaneros are my personal favorite chili. The heat can be a bit much but you can easily mitigate it a lot while still keeping it's unique flavor.
Those wings you're husband is making sure is taking a long time, I bet he's "getting around to it " which means 5 more months they should be ready lol😂😅. I'm just kidding with ya, how'd they come out though
I never once thought about "wet wings" as the reason as to why mine never come out crispy from the oven. Definitely gonna try brining them in the fridge as you suggested 👍
Have you ever par boiled or steamed the wings prior to broiling them? I boil them for about 5 minutes and then drain them well. They almost dry on their own. I think pat dry with paper towels. You can also place in the fridge uncovered to help dry them up. Then they cook perfectly without any major smoke from the rendered fat. Try it… works really well
Melted butter & Frank's Red Hot 50/50 mix is what I usually use on wings & adding honey is great to tune down the heat level, & can't hurt, for honey I always use Natural Nate's, it's inexpensive, award winning, & 100% Pure Honey.
Great cooking instruction AND an entertaining Made In commercial in under 9 mins? This is really well done. Thanks so much for new sauces to try. They look fantastic!
Made In should get you to make their commercials. I'm not exaggerating you have a real talent for the work, on top of your cooking ability@@BrianLagerstrom
Looking forward to trying this! When I've made wings in the oven before, I've used the convection setting, although my oven also has an "air fry" button and I'm always trying to figure out if that's just marketing. Because from my understanding...convection is the same thing, no?
Could I ask for a bit of general advice on this one? If I were to do this, I have two options: 1. Use my gas oven, but it's junk and it doesn't have a top broiler - the only option is to stick it in the drawer under the main, bottom heating element. Huge pain because I can't see the food, also because it's not an insulated cavity I'm not sure if they'd cook properly. 2. Use my Anova Precision Oven, but the small size would make me think that the oven would get way too hot and overcook the wings. Would I just leave the door cracked or open? Not only that, but it can only fit a pan just a bit larger than a quarter sheet - not too much food being made at once.
Brian, nice video, but I’m a little surprised that you presented the technique without credit given. It seems really unlike you. As you maybe know, I developed the baking powder technique for serious eats many years ago (it was based on a similar technique I’d developed at Cook’s Illustrated the year before for roast chicken). Even your description of how it works and the “microbubbles” at the end is the same language I used. By the way, it’s a really nice video. The sauces look great, and I like the idea of using the broiler here. (Also, to be clear, no hard feelings towards you - I know you’re generally really good about crediting sources.)
Hey Bri, I'm only a couple minutes into the vid but one suggestion for preventing smoke from the rendering fat is crumble the foil real good under the sheet tray, small divets of rendered fat, not a flat molten slick working to set our smoke alarms off. Learned that from the gods at ATK. This particular god was Dan. 😊
I just saw the video. I made wings tonight. Never let them rest to fry out, but I had a lot more baking powder (recipe from foodwishes). They went in wet and came out super crispy.
The only thing I wish Brian would do is let one know before hand somehow that this recipe requires a certain amount of wait time. When I go to look at his recipes at 530, it is too late! But otherwise, my husband is impressed, I will keep coming back to his channel. Thanks Bri. When I have more money I will be sure to send you a super thanks.
I made these for my husband’s birthday party - everyone said they were better than wings from our favorite pizza shop. They were super easy, and I used Frank’s wing sauce to coat them at the end, though next time I’d like to try one of the sauces Brian prepared. Thanks, Brian and Lorn!
Hi from Mexico! I went to a wings rest and they had a pineapple habanero sauce! It was awesome, everyone should give it a try, sadly I don’t know the measurements Cool vibes!
was planning on frying some wings this weekend- decided to try this cooking method and the habanero sauce (didn't have any mango on hand, but subbed out with peaches). the sauce came out excellent! as far as the wings- i believe i found my new favorite method of cooking wings!
Interested since i dont have an air fryer either. But I have found that boiling the wings can render the fat. Then proceed with drying and everything else. Of course i prefer dry rub.
This is awesome! I’ve been cooking wings in the oven but they have always taken way longer since I didn’t know about the overnight fridge trick. What advice do you have for dry rub seasoning if I’m not doing a sauce? We prefer McCormick’s Kicken Chicken seasoning. Would I add that in with the other dry ingredients at the start?
Very good. Will definitely try the baking powder trick. Quit buying wings a while ago though, too expensive for what you get. But will try on some thighs. Thanks!
You are definitely the best channel for recipes and overall cooking tips I've ever watched! I know you've done holiday sides before but I would love a video on how to properly roast a turkey for thanksgiving! Thanks for everything you do
Great video! Check out the series I did with this same concept. Hint: Baking powder was not the best thing to add to the wings to make them crispy: ruclips.net/video/s4GptXp3028/видео.htmlsi=5TJeTYIlPyEZQb1_
That looks great! We often make wings with just a quick toss in a very little olive oil and a dry spice combo which varies based on our mood. Half an hour at 425-450 F. The skin gets crispy, not as much as yours did, but crispy enough. That mango habanero sauce looks fantastic.
Great recipe! I love making oven wings like this. Honey sriracha is my favorite from the pantry wing sauce. Also definitely use non aluminum baking powder (or sub with baking soda + cream of tartar)
If you have a broiler drawer and therefore can't set the wings far enough from the broiler, is it better to do them in a hot oven or close to the broiler?
I tried this (with chicken thighs) and like the results, but it was salty. Does that tell you that i should have brushed/rinsed off the brine, or i simply used too much and it should have been more of a “dusting?”
I just did a version of wings for the first time using a sous vide method, which was my first time cooking with a sous vide cooker. I finished them on an extremely hot grill and a hand-held torch. Not bad for a first time especially since I did absolutely nothing to season them and just doused them with Buffalo sauce when finished. I searched RUclips to see if you ever posted anything with sous vide and couldn’t find anything. Have you tried it? Any chance you can weigh in with a video? Looking forward to it if you decide to do it. Thanks for all of the great videos. I’ll be trying your grill pizza tomorrow night if all goes well.
Is that a half sheet pan? If so, can you give a link where you found the rack that fit in it? I've been looking at the kitchen/restaurant supply stores near me and nothing fits!
I put my wings on steel skewers and hang them across a lined roasting pan. Space them out so you have about 7-8 pieces per skewer. No need to flip. I cook at 220c for 40-50 mins and get crispy skin.
Any recommendations, I find this makes the mouth feel of the wings super salty, and dries out my mouth. Maybe just over salting or is this an effect of the baking powder?
Hey Bri, i absolutely love your recipes especially the one pot bolognese! When you mentioned using the wing tips for stock, i had a look at your channel and realised you don't have any videos on how to make chicken/beef/veggie stock. I'd love to see your recipes for stocks
His recipes for stocks aren’t stand alone videos. They’re part of other videos. You can find a beef stock recipe in his Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich video. It’s pretty easy and yields a very nice beef stock. He also has a chicken stock recipe in another video. I forget which one. Both use a crock pot which is much easier than a stock pot on the stove.
I will have to try this. I don't fry much because it feels like a waste of oil. I wonder if you can put these on a smoker for a little while and then finish in the oven under the broiler or if they need that broiler high heat the whole time. Thanks for another great recipe. Those sauces look dope.
hey Bri, where do you buy your flat trays and racks? I like the ones you use, both shape and material. Are they stainless steel? the rack too? any specific brand you recommend? I watch all your videos (multiple times) and I've done pretty much every recipe on your channel Keep up the good work Thanks!
Hey Bri! Love the video. Sometimes, I like a dry-rubbed wing. When would you suggest putting the dry rub on? Would this be during the brining process? The rub has salt in it.
My. nine year old daughter is learning to cook and she really admires you and your work. She always says at the end - he is going to dance now. But tell me Brian, just how do I explain to her the word "frickin'" you use so often?
Considering how much wings are costing nowadays, this is a godsend. I about cried when we got wings to kill a craving recently, it was 30 bucks for just me and money aint going that far. Thank goodness I was able to get overtime that week... FOR DAMN WINGS. Ridiculous. Can't wait to try this
great video! I have it all correct except not letting them dry brine. my oven baked wings still taste great but I do want that crispy skin . I will try this tomorrow!
Stupid question but how are you finding wings without those little hairs in them? Anytime I've purchased them fresh and/or frozen they have those little hairs (if that's what they are technically called) and they ruin my appetite for wings.
I know Bri doesn't have the best opinion of Air Fryers but I gotta say - one of the best uses for one is chicken wings. Super crispy and consistant every time. This oven method looks interesting though so I will try it next!
airfryer + wings is the only thing i use it for, it makes crispy wings, even wet ones right out he package like a boss. I've tried every method, wet brine, dry brine, air cooled, brined then cooled, NOTHING will beat a fryer in oil, absolutely nothing. However the airfryer for straight from package to mouth is the fastest and easiest way. Its the best compromised between holy f thats a lot of cleanup and damn i want some wings in 20 minutes.
@@dingdong3000 400°F (~205°C) for 25 minutes, turning the chicken wings halfway through works for me. Every air fryer is different so you may need to adjust cooking time for your particular air fryer.
Not particularly related to this video, but you and Ethan Chlebowski are my main inspirations, whether that be in cooking or making RUclips videos. One day, I wanna be in your guys’ league, and hopefully we can all do a collab at some point!
Funny you should bring up Ethan. From the start of the vid, I was wondering if Brian and Ethan use the same kitchen except Brian's fridge is in the wrong spot.
I love buffalo wings but HATE deep frying in the house. The splatters of grease everywhere in a three foot radius of the pot. The hassle of disposing of the used oil. The oily smoky smell that becomes one with your furniture and lingers for days. I’m really looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for another really useful recipe!
Looks great. But you lost me at the gas oven broiler. I have an electric broiler... but I'm not sure it works right. It doesn't always stay on. Maybe that's what it's supposed to do? I'm not sure, but I've never really been pleased with how it cooks. One thing you're spot on about though is hoisin sauce is awesome.
This method is foolproof. I do it and leave them to dry for only 20 mins and use a regular oven at 370 or so. Works great!
Thank u Im might make these for my food tech test but unlike Brian I don’t have 4 to 24 hours 😂
Thanks, Brian! The texture of these wings reminds me of the fried wings from a national wing place. I've tried a version of this recipe but I think yours will be better. I will be trying soon!

I have to admit, using a wet brine for chicken wings works very well as well. It just adds to the prep time, though.
Couldn’t find a good air fryer chicken wing video just made some in the fryer sat down ready to eat and this is the first thing i see the algorithm is a crazy thing.
What was your cook time and temperature
Love your vids Bri, I think it's awesome that you describe both the 'how' and the 'why' behind your recipes! Also that mango-habanero sauce looks dope, gonna have to try that.
Oh thank you!
@@BrianLagerstrom no one could ever comprehend how much my mad scientist soul appreciate your detailed and logical explanation 🥹
I love the way you present each step of the recipe so clearly. It makes it easy for me to follow along and recreate the dish at home. 👌😋🙏
Hey Bri, I have another way I have done for years. Do exactly what you do with the drying of the skin.

I made these chicken wings last night for the Superbowl and they turned out great, I used a traditional buffalo sauce. Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you for your lovely compliment. I hope my recipe was able to help you .
My husband is doing his first batch of these with second sauce as I post this. Will pop back when done to report and thanks Bri.
Those wings you're husband is making sure is taking a long time, I bet he's "getting around to it " which means 5 more months they should be ready lol😂😅.
I'm just kidding with ya, how'd they come out though
@@itsacircledaThey were fantastic, lol. I forgot to report back. Hubby says they were soo good. You should try it.
I never once thought about "wet wings" as the reason as to why mine never come out crispy from the oven. Definitely gonna try brining them in the fridge as you suggested 👍
It works for for a smoker well too.
Great video on explaining the use of baking powder , and drying of chicken in refrigerator .
Just made these, and they turned out perfectly. This is the only way I will make wings now.
Have you ever par boiled or steamed the wings prior to broiling them? I boil them for about 5 minutes and then drain them well. They almost dry on their own. I think pat dry with paper towels. You can also place in the fridge uncovered to help dry them up. Then they cook perfectly without any major smoke from the rendered fat. Try it… works really well
Melted butter & Frank's Red Hot 50/50 mix is what I usually use on wings & adding honey is great to tune down the heat level, & can't hurt, for honey I always use Natural Nate's, it's inexpensive, award winning, & 100% Pure Honey.
I put the wings in the fridge overnight and bake them for 35-45 minutes.... that's it. They have always come out great; the sauce does the talking.
I’d like to see your take on Sauerbraten (with potato dumplings), Haluski, pumpkin cookies, or homemade water-kefir.
hey bri, how do you stop the wings from having a freezer burnish taste from sitting in the fridge for so long uncovered?
Great cooking instruction AND an entertaining Made In commercial in under 9 mins? This is really well done. Thanks so much for new sauces to try. They look fantastic!
Thanks for this nice comment! I try to make the ads engaging!
Made In should get you to make their commercials. I'm not exaggerating you have a real talent for the work, on top of your cooking ability@@BrianLagerstrom

Hey Brian, dad called and he wants a word
I was watching this video thinking it sounded surprisingly similar to yours
Hey Bri, I'm only a couple minutes into the vid but one suggestion for preventing smoke from the rendering fat is crumble the foil real good under the sheet tray, small divets of rendered fat, not a flat molten slick working to set our smoke alarms off. Learned that from the gods at ATK. This particular god was Dan. 😊

Hi from Mexico!
I went to a wings rest and they had a pineapple habanero sauce! It was awesome, everyone should give it a try, sadly I don’t know the measurements
Cool vibes!
Appreciate you explaining why you do each step. It really helps! Chicken I get but it's even more useful to hear the tips for less common foods
I used to love making these wings after Chef John´s Recipe. I will definitely try out the mango-habanero sauce. Thanks for the video!
Chef John's the first place I saw this method. Fork don't lie.
was planning on frying some wings this weekend- decided to try this cooking method and the habanero sauce (didn't have any mango on hand, but subbed out with peaches). the sauce came out excellent! as far as the wings- i believe i found my new favorite method of cooking wings!
Hey, Bri…
I did your dry brine on chicken wings, stuck it in the fridge for about six hours and broiled them. How easy and fabulous was that?
I made these when Chef John(?) made them. I loved it, my wife said she tested the baking powder.
Ditto! He did it 8 years ago: ruclips.net/video/BDVg0u2YQ7Q/видео.html
Interested since i dont have an air fryer either. But I have found that boiling the wings can render the fat. Then proceed with drying and everything else. Of course i prefer dry rub.
No seasoning on the chicken wings?
Hear you on the drying step in the fridge, curious to see if you have any pointers on recipes that require marinating the wings
Backed in the oven the wing tips are the best part…they go all crunchy and crispy
This is awesome! I’ve been cooking wings in the oven but they have always taken way longer since I didn’t know about the overnight fridge trick. What advice do you have for dry rub seasoning if I’m not doing a sauce? We prefer McCormick’s Kicken Chicken seasoning. Would I add that in with the other dry ingredients at the start?
Very good. Will definitely try the baking powder trick. Quit buying wings a while ago though, too expensive for what you get. But will try on some thighs. Thanks!
You are definitely the best channel for recipes and overall cooking tips I've ever watched! I know you've done holiday sides before but I would love a video on how to properly roast a turkey for thanksgiving! Thanks for everything you do
Yep, hab + fruit is such a good combo. Discard the seeds and stems if its too hot, you still get the amazing flavor w/o the heat
Bri: instead of fridge for 24hrs, lowest temp oven with fan for lest say 60mins. What do you think? Will it work?
Great video! Check out the series I did with this same concept. Hint: Baking powder was not the best thing to add to the wings to make them crispy: ruclips.net/video/s4GptXp3028/видео.htmlsi=5TJeTYIlPyEZQb1_
Can you cook drumsticks the same way?
That looks great! We often make wings with just a quick toss in a very little olive oil and a dry spice combo which varies based on our mood. Half an hour at 425-450 F. The skin gets crispy, not as much as yours did, but crispy enough. That mango habanero sauce looks fantastic.
Hi Brian, can you use the same process to prepare the wings but cook them in an air fryer for similar results? Thanks, love your videos!
Great recipe! I love making oven wings like this. Honey sriracha is my favorite from the pantry wing sauce. Also definitely use non aluminum baking powder (or sub with baking soda + cream of tartar)
If you have a broiler drawer and therefore can't set the wings far enough from the broiler, is it better to do them in a hot oven or close to the broiler?
What if you have a communal fridge and don't have the space to store wings? Does a Ziploc bag work?
Brian will the salt and baking powder work on leg quarters or even a spatchcock whole chicken?
Is baking powder better for the skin than corn starch, which I have been using?
Hey Brian, I was wondering if you think the wing dry brine would work with a pellet smoker? I will be trying this method but I love my smoker.
I tried this (with chicken thighs) and like the results, but it was salty. Does that tell you that i should have brushed/rinsed off the brine, or i simply used too much and it should have been more of a “dusting?”
Baking soda is also what makes your caramel corn crunchy instead of goopy.
Learned that the hard way.
I just did a version of wings for the first time using a sous vide method, which was my first time cooking with a sous vide cooker. I finished them on an extremely hot grill and a hand-held torch. Not bad for a first time especially since I did absolutely nothing to season them and just doused them with Buffalo sauce when finished. I searched RUclips to see if you ever posted anything with sous vide and couldn’t find anything. Have you tried it? Any chance you can weigh in with a video? Looking forward to it if you decide to do it. Thanks for all of the great videos. I’ll be trying your grill pizza tomorrow night if all goes well.
My Gas oven
Has the broiler in a drawer on the bottom, below the oven box. So no height adjustment
So will this work for me ????
After seeing the collab with Ethan, i cannot unsee how GIANT Brian is 😅
Is that a half sheet pan? If so, can you give a link where you found the rack that fit in it? I've been looking at the kitchen/restaurant supply stores near me and nothing fits!
Seriously some of the best wings I've ever made. I think this is going to be on regular rotation in my house now.
I put my wings on steel skewers and hang them across a lined roasting pan. Space them out so you have about 7-8 pieces per skewer. No need to flip. I cook at 220c for 40-50 mins and get crispy skin.
Brian would it be ok if I made this without the sauce? I love chicken wings and am super stoked to make this but I usually bake my chicken wings dry.
No sauce is no prob!
The wing tips are a nice little treat to get with wings, it’s all killer(crunchy fried bits) no filler(meat)
Any recommendations, I find this makes the mouth feel of the wings super salty, and dries out my mouth. Maybe just over salting or is this an effect of the baking powder?
Same technique for the air fryer ?
Hey Bri, i absolutely love your recipes especially the one pot bolognese! When you mentioned using the wing tips for stock, i had a look at your channel and realised you don't have any videos on how to make chicken/beef/veggie stock. I'd love to see your recipes for stocks
Check out my restaurant pan roasted chicken video.
His recipes for stocks aren’t stand alone videos. They’re part of other videos. You can find a beef stock recipe in his Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich video. It’s pretty easy and yields a very nice beef stock. He also has a chicken stock recipe in another video. I forget which one. Both use a crock pot which is much easier than a stock pot on the stove.
@@BrianLagerstrom perfect, thank you very much for the answer :)

Did he say, "... Perfectly imbalanced?"
BAHAHAHAHA
Exactly.. Perfect
I will have to try this. I don't fry much because it feels like a waste of oil. I wonder if you can put these on a smoker for a little while and then finish in the oven under the broiler or if they need that broiler high heat the whole time. Thanks for another great recipe. Those sauces look dope.
could you use a convection fan while broiling for more even temp?
What if you would put the tips in the oven before freezing them for stock? Since you'll be preparing the rest of the wings anyway.
hey Bri, where do you buy your flat trays and racks? I like the ones you use, both shape and material. Are they stainless steel? the rack too? any specific brand you recommend?
I watch all your videos (multiple times) and I've done pretty much every recipe on your channel
Keep up the good work
Thanks!
oh, just saw it's in the description of the video 😅
You can peel ginger with a spoon guys.
Love the new sauce recipes! 🎉❤🎉
Thanks!
Can I deep fry the dry brined wings? Or will they not be as juicy?
Hey Bri! Love the video. Sometimes, I like a dry-rubbed wing. When would you suggest putting the dry rub on? Would this be during the brining process? The rub has salt in it.
My. nine year old daughter is learning to cook and she really admires you and your work. She always says at the end - he is going to dance now. But tell me Brian, just how do I explain to her the word "frickin'" you use so often?
Made this, turned out great. Faster than baking. Moist and tender meat. 👍
Considering how much wings are costing nowadays, this is a godsend. I about cried when we got wings to kill a craving recently, it was 30 bucks for just me and money aint going that far. Thank goodness I was able to get overtime that week... FOR DAMN WINGS. Ridiculous. Can't wait to try this
great video! I have it all correct except not letting them dry brine. my oven baked wings still taste great but I do want that crispy skin . I will try this tomorrow!
Could you add some seasonings to the dry brine to do a sort of dry rubbed wing, or would that ruin the dry brine?
There is a potential for burning unfortunately
Thats exactly how I make them, nice crunch to the skin even with sauce.
I’m glad Jamie Kennedys brother has a cooking channel on RUclips HAHAHA! Good video can’t wait to try the baking soda trick next time in the wings!
Looks delicious!
Deep frying is the best but I enjoy doing my wings on the traeger over being done in the oven. Still get a nice crispy skin after some prep work.
Stupid question but how are you finding wings without those little hairs in them? Anytime I've purchased them fresh and/or frozen they have those little hairs (if that's what they are technically called) and they ruin my appetite for wings.
I know Bri doesn't have the best opinion of Air Fryers but I gotta say - one of the best uses for one is chicken wings. Super crispy and consistant every time. This oven method looks interesting though so I will try it next!
airfryer + wings is the only thing i use it for, it makes crispy wings, even wet ones right out he package like a boss. I've tried every method, wet brine, dry brine, air cooled, brined then cooled, NOTHING will beat a fryer in oil, absolutely nothing. However the airfryer for straight from package to mouth is the fastest and easiest way. Its the best compromised between holy f thats a lot of cleanup and damn i want some wings in 20 minutes.
An air "fryer" is literally a mini convection oven, so, same method.
@@IzzyTheEditor except he didn't use a convection oven, he used a broiler
what temp and how many minutes in the air fryer?
@@dingdong3000 400°F (~205°C) for 25 minutes, turning the chicken wings halfway through works for me. Every air fryer is different so you may need to adjust cooking time for your particular air fryer.
one of the most well made cooking videos I've seen! Also I love wings, perfect vid thanks!
Not particularly related to this video, but you and Ethan Chlebowski are my main inspirations, whether that be in cooking or making RUclips videos. One day, I wanna be in your guys’ league, and hopefully we can all do a collab at some point!
Funny you should bring up Ethan. From the start of the vid, I was wondering if Brian and Ethan use the same kitchen except Brian's fridge is in the wrong spot.
Bri, Raw chicken on top of the fridge rack?
I love buffalo wings but HATE deep frying in the house. The splatters of grease everywhere in a three foot radius of the pot. The hassle of disposing of the used oil. The oily smoky smell that becomes one with your furniture and lingers for days.
I’m really looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for another really useful recipe!
So I'm guessing you found the boiler and flipping method a lot more effective than just a hot oven with the wings on a grate?
Okay Bri but how do I clean and keep the baking sheet rack from getting gross or rusting?
the rack is steel so it can go in the dishwasher. The pan should have been wrapped with foil so no cleanup needed.
Looks great. But you lost me at the gas oven broiler. I have an electric broiler... but I'm not sure it works right. It doesn't always stay on. Maybe that's what it's supposed to do? I'm not sure, but I've never really been pleased with how it cooks. One thing you're spot on about though is hoisin sauce is awesome.
You should dry brine them with salt and baking powder. Then season and bake. The baking powder makes the skin crispier.
What’s the temperature of electric oven should use?
how do you deal with the chicken grease from smoking out your oven...
